Credible Fantasies | T Vijeyendra

T Vijayendra has just published a new book of short stories with a title, ‘Credible Fantasies’. The blurb reads:

‘The central idea of the fantasies presented here is to imagine a future for my young friends with ‘Green Jobs’, that is, jobs that help in restoring ecology and creating equity among humans. It is a very difficult proposition under the present circumstances and hence I refer to them as ‘fantasies’.

‘However, conditions are changing fast and soon it will be possible for these fantasies to become real. Hence, they are ‘credible’ or so I fondly imagine!’

It is a small book (80 pages) and the book’s price is Rs.50/ only.
